FAQs
What types of events are the adizero Prime SP3 Strung spikes best suited for?
These spikes are primarily designed for short to mid-distance track sprinting events, such as 60m, 100m, 200m, and 400m, where explosive speed and maximal propulsion are critical.
What does "Strung" mean in the product name?
The "Strung" upper refers to a specialized textile construction designed for ultra-lightweight support and a secure, precise fit, optimizing performance for elite sprinters.
Can I use these spikes for hurdles or long jump?
While they provide excellent speed, their specific design is optimized for flat-out sprinting. For hurdles or jump events, specialized spikes with different plate flexibilities or cushioning might offer better performance and protection.
How do I clean my adizero Prime SP3 Strung spikes?
Wipe the textile upper and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are replacement spike pins included or readily available?
Info needed: Whether a spike wrench and initial set of replacement pins are included. Standard track spike pins (often 6mm or 7mm pyramid/needle) are generally compatible and widely available for purchase separately.
What is Lightstrike Pro cushioning?
Lightstrike Pro is a very lightweight and highly responsive foam cushioning material used in high-performance footwear to provide energy return and impact absorption, aiding in powerful propulsion.
Do these spikes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the adizero Prime SP3 Strung spikes are made with at least 20% recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Spike pins feel loose or are falling out.
Ensure you have a spike wrench. Gently re-tighten any loose pins. If pins are worn or damaged, replace them with new standard spike pins. Always check pin tightness before each use.
Lack of expected grip on the track.
Check the condition of your spike pins. If they are worn down or blunt, they will not grip effectively. Replace worn pins. Also, ensure the track surface is clean and not excessively wet, which can impact any spike's grip.
Discomfort or rubbing during sprinting.
Ensure the spikes are properly laced and fitted. Sometimes new spikes require a break-in period. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing or try different sock thicknesses. Make sure laces are snug but not overly tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your adizero Prime SP3 Strung spikes, ensure all six spike pins are securely in place. While pins are typically pre-installed, it's good practice to check their tightness before initial use. If pins need adjusting or replacing, use a standard spike wrench (often sold separately) to gently turn them clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility
These spikes are specifically designed for competitive track and field sprinting events. They are compatible with all standard track surfaces (e.g., Mondo, tartan). Using them on abrasive surfaces like asphalt or concrete can damage the spike plate and pins, and is not recommended.
Care
Maintaining your spikes will extend their lifespan and performance:
- Cleaning: After use, gently wipe down the textile upper and synthetic outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the spikes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your spikes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a spike bag, to protect them from dust and physical damage. Ensure pins are clean before storage to prevent corrosion.
- Pin Maintenance: Periodically inspect spike pins for wear or damage. Worn pins can reduce grip and should be replaced. Replacement pins are typically universal for track spikes.
